Good Morning, Broncos fans! Poor Brady Quinn.

Dude's finally getting another crack at the Chiefs' top QB gig, four weeks after having suffered a concussion one quarter into his start against the Raiders. But at least he'll be playing behind a decent offensive line that's been around league-average in terms of allowing sacks, right?

Not so much.

Kansas City will most likely be without starting left tackle Branden Albert for tomorrow's game, in which case third-round rookie Donald Stephenson would start in his place. Ryan Lilja and Jon Asamoah are questionable, but it sounds like they'll play.

Stephenson has only seen 82 snaps this season, but has already allowed two sacks, two hits, and another hurry. And he's not faced anyone remotely close to the skill level of Von Miller and Elvis Dumervil.

Videos: John Fox speaks after practice, from which Chris Hall reports for BTV; the Playbook guys discuss the matchup, and wow - look at how much space the WR screens can create when the Broncos fake those same plays.

Denver released Jeremiah Johnson from the practice squad but intends to re-sign him next week.

It's no accident that Von Miller has been rushing quarterbacks with the same level of success as the late Derrick Thomas, since he modeled himself after the HOFer and wears #58 in his honor. Perhaps Von can reprise Thomas's seven-sack performance from 1990, and did you know the Chiefs actually lost that game? Meanwhile, Von says he owns about 30 pairs of eyeglasses.

To the surprise of nobody, the Broncos have gotten the ball to their tight ends plenty this season, a year after the position was ignored in the passing game.

Jeff Legwold explains what Denver must do to win tomorrow; how about just showing up? Andrew Mason expects the Chiefs to come up with 13 points tomorrow, which would be quite the feat.

Legwold revisits the McDaniels/Xanders drafts of 2009 and 2010 and suggests that J.D. Walton may have a fight on his hands to regain the starting center gig next season.

San Diego placed LT Jared Gaither on IR and will promote Kevin Haslam from their practice squad to replace him. The team will also be without Eddie Royal and Larry English tomorrow against Baltimore, and left guard Tyronne Greene is likely out as well.

I tend to agree Koppen was owned several times last week. Atlewat that was what I saw.

Not saying the Walton may not have but Koppen is not our future OC. Great spare part for next man up.

Hahaha at the Chiefs video.

I'd be saying, "Take it easy, Grandma!"

"suggests that J.D. Walton may have a fight on his hands to regain the starting center gig next season."

Is that what Leghold actually thinks, or is he just stringing words together and writing down random thoughts becuase it's his job to produece content? Koppen was signed as a backup, which was a good move. Especially in light of Waltons injury. But a long-term starter? Not happening.

Thanks Doug. Why am I not surprised that KnoMo might be hurt already? And what are the chances of Fox sitting Manning out late if the blowout everyone is predicting actually comes to pass? Does he have a history of sitting starters?
